摘　　要：We studied a pure coordination game in which swimmers had to agree on the distance that they would swim underwater up a line after diving into a swimming pool. The swimmers were not able to communicate with each other. To win the game, the swimmer had to surface at exactly the same point as his partner. This pure coordination game was played by 81 swimmers, 43 of whom then put their decisions into practice in a 25-metre pool. The results revealed the presence of two Schelling points. One point （at 12.5 metres） was that predicted by theory and corresponded to half the maximum possible distance. The other Schelling point （at 25 metres） was practical in nature and reflected a taste for underwater swimming--even though performance （in terms of the distance swum underwater） was not relevant in this game. The results show that swimmers underestimate their water competence when they are not subjected to a competitive challenge.
